Where to stay in Netteswell
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Harlow keeps the hotel rooms. Netteswell holds housing instead, so a visitor books toward the town centre and comes out for the moated site at Passmores House, the Gibberd Gallery, or an hour at the Harlow Sportcentre. Tye Green suits drivers.
Netteswell Cross works better on foot, with St Andrew and Netteswellbury House in reach of it and Todd Brook beyond.

About Netteswell
What are the main landmarks in Netteswell?
St Andrew is the old church here. Netteswellbury House stands beside it, the manor the parish grew around, while the Gibberd Gallery and the Harlow Sportcentre belong to the new town that came afterwards. Newer churches followed the housing.
The Church of Our Lady of Fatima, the Church of St Paul with its attached bell tower, and St Stephen at Tye Green serve the estates, and the Church of St Mary the Virgin holds the Harlow dedication.
What is the history of Netteswell?
The parish came before the town. Netteswell stayed rural into the middle of the twentieth century, a scatter of small settlements with Netteswell Cross in the north and Tye Green in the south, and its parish church of St Andrew standing beside the manor house of Netteswellbury at the centre. Harlow changed that in 1947.
Designation of the new town took in the parish, the civil parish itself was abolished in 1955, and Netteswell now names a ward smaller than the ground it once covered.
Where is Netteswell?
Netteswell Cross stands in the north of the old parish and Tye Green in the south, with the moated site of Passmores House south of Todd Brook.
